A Crazy One-night Stand
Chapter 11: This Meal Is on Me

Three days later, news of Hall taking credit for his subordinate's work had spread throughout the Adams Group. It was said that this matter even alarmed the president, Mr. Harry himself.

When Mr. Harry knew of this incident, he was furious and set up a special team to investigate Hall. The results were shocking. For a long time, Hall had taken credit for his subordinates' design plans and ideas He even misused his position to leak design plans to other competitors for under-table deals.

Mr. Harry was outraged and immediately called for Hall's arrest according to the contract of employment.

In addition, Hall's cousin, Amy, was also implicated in her attempt to disrupt the investigation. Although she was not arrested like Hall, she was dishonourably dismissed and blacklisted by the Adams Group. After Hall was arrested, the entire design department of Imperial Landscapes was in high spirits. Cheers filled the entire department.

"Justice is finally served!"

"Exactly, Hall got what he deserved."

"I've been waiting so long for this day. I thought nobody could stand up to Hall. No one would have expected Alina to challenge him so bravely. Alina was amazing, Hall was sent directly to prison after she reported him."

"Didn't Hall brag about his cousin in the secretary team? Such a show-off!"

"Yes, Alina is really awesome!"

"Alina is coming. Our hero! Come on, clap loudly!"

The whole department erupted in loud cheers and applause.

The enthusiastic crowd chanted her name, "Alina, Alina! Alina!"

"Treat us to a meal!" another voice shouted over the racket.

Alina smiled widely and said, "I would like to thank everyone for always helping me out since working here. Let's go to Modern barbecue for a meal, the treat's on me! I hope everyone can make it!" "Alina, I love you so much!" Jenny, one of the designers screamed, rushed over, and hugged Alina tightly.

"Modern barbecue, it's my favourite restaurant!"

"Alina, good choice!"

"Alina, is there enough beer for all of us?" Mark joked and laughed.

"Alina, can we order as much as we want?" Zoey winked at Alina.

The atmosphere at work that day was merry. Everyone was in a good mood, especially Alina. She laughed in reply. "Of course not! I know how much you guys eat and drink. Are you going to take care of me if run out of money?"

"What? I am not mistaken, am I? Alina asked me to take care of her! I'm going to faint from happiness!" Mark exclaimed in exaggeration and pretended to pass out.

Zoey caught Mark and pushed him away. "Alina asked me as well. We are competitors!"

Everyone was celebrating the happy occasion today. Only Mia looked a little nervous and kept silent in a corner. Her mind was occupied elsewhere. "You just need to report to me Alina's whereabouts every day, you won't be involved in other things. Don't worry, I am just going to teach her a lesson. It won't do any real harm, I am just playing a harmless prank on her. If you accept, 20 thousand dollars is yours!" She hesitated, but the reward was tempting. 20 thousand dollars was about four months of salary for her.

Mia glanced at the cheerful smiles on her colleagues' faces. She smiled dryly and quickly went to the bathroom. She changed her phone's SIM card to send a message, "Alina will treat everyone in the department to a meal at Modern barbecue tonight!" ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
